Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder mostly due to hormonal imbalances. There could be more than one predisposing factors that can contribute for development of PCOS. However there is no literature that explained the association of common factors with PCOS. Material and Methods: We tested few common variables such as family history of PCOS, fast food diet habits, involvement in physical exercise, body mass index and waist circumference of study participants as probable risk factors for development of PCOS. Results: We found that individuals with a positive family history of PCOS [RR 1.07 (CI 0.709-1.619)], fast food diet habits [RR 1.725 (CI 1.014-2.933)], and obesity [RR 1.741 (CI 1.054-2.877)] are at higher risk of PCOS compared to participants without these predisposing factors. Conclusion: Majority of the predisposing factors identified in our study participants were modifiable hence careful monitoring and proper corrective steps may help in prevention and adequate management PCOS.
